Description

@mfeurer

The new SMAC rewrite introduced an argument n_retries, however, it is not clear to me why it was introduced. Could you please explain the reasoning why it is there?

I am asking because SMAC decided to stop an evaluation despite the budget not being exhausted. However, n_retries is not something that is exposed in the Facade, not something that is researched or described, and therefore very surprising to me.
